    “I AM A FILIPINO”

    by: Melvin Banggollay

    I am a Filipino, in blood and spirit


    born from immortal seeds of heroes
    Whose heart were willing to commit
    their lives to fight any kind of foes
    even those that has the power to spit
    the nation of my birth with volcanoes
    of fire and balls of cannon that can split
    thy land unto tiny dusts to unseen echoes.

    I am a Filipino, proud of my humble roots


    of a gentle loving and valiant Malayan spirit
    land been conquered but never surrendered
    the culture of its birth and ancestor's merit
    of great love for country that can't be toppled
    even by nation with powers that can delete
    this land out of the face of this great world
    as all thy children vow to die with all valor
    to defend the pride and honor of the Filipinos.
